Description: Cha Cha Char Wine Bar & Grill is a stylish, contemporary restaurant specialising in high quality, cooked-to-perfection steaks.On our menu you'll find plenty of information - the breed, paddock address, age (12 months to 30 months and older), size (200g to 600g), accompaniments and diet (grass fed/grain fed) as well as snapshots of rare, medium rare, medium and well done steaks to help diners with their preferences.It's harder than you think to get a great steak onto a plate - there are so many variables. Restaurateur John Kilroy is a nationally recognised beef judge and is constantly showcasing products to the hospitality industry where discussions range from the breed of cattle, feed type and age of the carcass. His wide recognition throughout the beef industry means that we receive first class products on a consistent basis, year round. John sources the beef direct from producers and suppliers and ages it for five weeks, giving diners a chance to taste different breeds, brands and regions. That's why it's Brisbane's signature steak restaurant!

Went to Cha Cha Char's at the request of friends who had been told this was the best place in Brisbane for a steak. First up, it's the kind of yuppy place that makes you sit at the bar for 30 minutes so they can sell you $18 cocktails and $10 beers before they take you to your pre-booked table (yes we were on time). Steak was not cooked as per individuals requests, rare was blue, medium was rare. Sounds fussy but when you pay $70 for a piece of rib fillet you expect to get what you ask for in Brisbane's self proclaimed "signature steakhouse". Calamari was overlooked and chewy. Pasta was average, watery and lacked flavour. Be prepared to pay a ridiculous price for a tiny side of vegetables or potato chips. We didn't bother with dessert. Figured if the meals were this bad we wouldn't be spending more money on sweets. Do yourself a favour and buy a $30 steak from somewhere like the Pig & Whistle up the road. It's probably better and half the price. Cha Cha Chat is overpriced and average. Certainly NOT Brisbane's best steak. Or pasta. Or seafood. Or service. Thumbs down.

You need a kings ransom for the best steak, but I was not paying so I had one. AND. . . it was amazing. Fantastic. And I love the pretty young things they employ. If you are going to have plenty of staff, why not be selective, ageist and beautyist, (pick the youngest and best looking) I thought it was great, but one of our party had plastic around his potato so he was not happy, I am gald it was not me. If you can afford it, you will love it.

Had such a great day today at Brisbane's Bug & Oyster trail @eaglestreetpier. Kids had ball and it turned out to be a perfect way to end school holidays. 14 restaurants participated so was very spoilt for choice. Very happy #foodieI started with BBQ bugs served in brioche roll filled with Blond d'aquitaine steak tartar from Cha Cha Char Wine Bar & Grill for $18. It was lovely. Wish l could have more.

Thanks for the review foodieadventure80, that oyster and bug trail festival was certainly a hit and enjoyed by an overwhelming number of guests. We would love to have you come into the restaurant though and enjoy an ala carte experience also..
